Brief History of Waffen SS: The Waffen-SS was the combat branch of the SS (Schutzstaffel), which began as a paramilitary organization supporting the Nazi Party before and during World War II. Over time, the Waffen-SS grew from three regiments to over 38 divisions, serving alongside the Wehrmacht but remaining under the jurisdiction of the Nazi Party. Their divisions fought on all fronts in Europe, and members of the Waffen-SS were involved in numerous war crimes. Post-war, the Nuremberg Trials declared the SS, including the Waffen-SS, a criminal organization, with many of its members facing war crime charges. Artifacts from this period, like the described teapot, hold significant historical weight, acting as tangible reminders of a dark chapter in history.
